None of the injuries appear to be serious.

Nine people, including a child, were rushed to the hospital following a three-vehicle collision in Lancaster County. The incident occurred at approximately 1:10 p.m. near the entrance of Plain and Fancy on the 3000 block of Old Philadelphia Pike/Route 340 in Leacock Township.

Authorities reported that one of the vehicles was attempting to make a turn when it was unexpectedly rear-ended, causing it to veer into oncoming traffic. The vehicle collided with an SUV traveling in the opposite direction, resulting in the SUV flipping onto its side.

Fortunately, none of the injuries sustained by those involved appear to be severe. Emergency services promptly arrived at the scene and transported all nine individuals, including a child, to a nearby hospital for further evaluation and treatment.

In response to this accident, Old Philadelphia Pike had been temporarily closed for approximately one hour as authorities worked diligently to clear debris from the roadway and investigate any potential causes or contributing factors. However, as of now, it has since reopened for regular traffic flow.

The investigation into this three-vehicle crash is still ongoing as law enforcement officials gather additional information regarding what led up to this unfortunate incident.
